Event Description
Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Sauk County’s first historian, William H. Canfield. Only a few years after arriving in Sauk County in 1842 with his wife, Canfield started recording Sauk County history (almost as it happened) leaving behind a rich legacy of printed material and maps.
Each year a local historian is awarded the William H. Canfield History Award for dedicated work in the field of local history. This year we congratulate Jean Brew as the 2026 Canfield Award Recipient.
